    July 28, 1918 8:25 Samara Allied Forces Headquarters

    "At present, the Western Route Army in the Ukraine Campaign has basically been in place. The Western Route Army will be led by Lieutenant General Fujii's 7th Division as the main force. The divisional armored regiment of the 9th Division of the Chinese participating army Li Mingzhong will be assigned to the 7th Division. In addition,  One division of Lieutenant General Slavin's Kursk Group Army is assigned to fight at the same time, and the other two divisions of the Kursk Group Army serve as the reserves of the Western Route Army! "

    "The former enemy commander-in-chief of the West Route Army is still Lieutenant General Fujii Yukitsuchi of the Seventh Division, the chief of staff is Colonel Ishihara Kanji, and the deputy commander and deputy chief of staff is Lieutenant General Slavin. The total strength of the West Route Army is also six  There are more than 10,000 people on the front line, and there are more than 40,000 people on the front line. According to the campaign plan, the mission of the Western Route Army is to break through the Ukrainian border defenses. The first step is to capture Glukhov, and then go straight to Kiev, the most important city in Ukraine in the southwest! "

    The progress of the Ukrainian campaign plan explained by Qian Tianfu at this moment is not much different from the Ukrainian campaign plan formulated at the military meeting of senior coalition generals on July 21. This guy then pointed the red and blue pencil to the left side of the map and continued  said.

    "At present, since the Southwest Front's West Route Army marches and mobilizes and assembles the farthest distance, the West Route Army's campaign launch and assembly point is Relisk, about 110 kilometers west of Kursk, so in terms of preparations, the West Route Army  The army is slightly behind the Central Route Army and the East Route Army. Although the troops are in place, ammunition and military supplies are still being stockpiled. His Excellency Utsunomiya's report stated that it will take at least 2 days before the West Route Army can complete its battle preparations.  "

    "I heard that Utsunomiya prioritized the ammunition, fuel and other military supplies transported by the coalition forces and replenished them to his own center army, right? This guy is still eager to win after all!" Jiang Hongyu, chief of staff of the coalition forces, said  Said aside.

    "You're right. Fujii Yukitsuchi actually brought the lawsuit to me, the coalition headquarters. Of course, he didn't dare to say directly that the arms supplies originally planned for the Western Route Army were intercepted by his superior, Utsunomiya Taro. This  I just complained that Jiro Oba of the Central Route Army was unjust. Shunroku Hata relied on his popularity at the Allied Forces Headquarters and said that the Central Route Army received more than twice as much supplies and materials as the West Route Army.  There is no way to defeat his Western Route Army!"

    Wang Geng said with a smile. Jiang Hongyu's face turned red when he heard this. To be honest, since Hata Shunroku had been Wang Geng's chief staff officer in the war room before and had been advising Wang Geng for such a long time, of course he and Jiang Hongyu included  Many generals in the coalition's logistics are familiar with each other. For the sake of two old acquaintances, Utsunomiya Taro and Hata Shunroku, Jiang Hongyu's logistics system is more or less equipped with train wagons and military trucks for the logistics transportation of the Central Route Army.  The number is really much greater than that of the West Route Army.

    "Commander-in-Chief, let me tell you that according to our Ukrainian campaign plan, the Central Army of the Southwest Front will be the first to launch the attack, from Belgorod to Kharkov along the railway line, and prioritize the supply of arms and supplies to the Central Army."  In the past, His Excellency Utsunomiya was personally in charge of the Central Route Army. Fujii Yukitsuki¡¯s West Route Army could only hold its nose and admit it. Fortunately, the West Route Army¡¯s campaign was originally planned to be launched more than one day later than the Central Route Army. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big problem.  , the time has come!¡±

    The Director of the Operations Room of the Allied Forces Headquarters, Qian Tianfu, explained with a smile that he believed that the supply priority of Fujii Yukitsuki's West Route Army was originally lower than that of the Central Route Army, and the launch of the campaign was one to two days later. It was not a big problem.  The relationship between Qian Tianfu and Shunroku Hata of the Central Route Army is also very harmonious. As for Jiang Hongyu, he is Qian Tianfu's nominal direct boss. Even when Xiao Qian sits in the position of chief staff officer of the war room, Jiang Hongyu is also missing.  He Hata Shunroku strongly recommended him in front of Wang Geng, so he intentionally or unintentionally rescued Jiang Hongyu in front of Wang Geng.

    Wang Geng waved his hand indifferently and said, "This is nothing. Ten fingers are still long or short. To achieve absolute fairness is unfair. Everything has priorities. Of course, the factions within the Japanese Army also  It's not just one or two days. We don't need to get involved. We just need to replenish the food supplies and ammunition for the West Route Army before the battle begins.

    By the way, tell Utsunomiya Taro that the Western Route Army in the Ukrainian campaign can be dispatched two days later than originally planned. Try to avoid alerting the enemy and don't scare the enemies of Kiev from reinforcing Kharkov!  "

    Qian Tianfu nodded, and Pepelyayev couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, if you want me to say, if we use the main force in the direction of the Western Route Army and Kiev, and take Kiev in one go, Dnieper  You can easily get it on the north bank of the Bo River, why must we start in Kharkov first?¡±

    Wang Geng smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "This issue has actually been explained at the last military meeting on July 21. Kiev is of course the largest strategic town in Ukraine, but our goal is not to win it all at once."Ukraine, the Volga Federation now feeds a population of 9 million, and the food supply is already quite tight. If we carry the burden of Ukraine with a population of 15 million, we will be unable to do anything in the second half of 1918. We can only cope with so many mouths waiting for food.  Got it!  "

    "This is indeed the case. Your Excellency Pepe, you are the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation. You cannot just think that the bigger the territory of the Volga Federation, the better. The bigger the stalls are, the heavier our burden will be. In terms of food, we can truly be self-sufficient.  Maybe we have to wait until next year. The more people there are, the better!" Jiang Hongyu, chief of staff and logistics commander of the coalition, said from the side.

    Pepelyaev sighed after hearing this. The food problem was of course the biggest worry and confusion in his mind as the federal prime minister. The lower Volga area of ??Tsaritsyn has always been Russia's granary, and Ukraine's  The same is true on both sides of the Dnieper River. However, due to the destruction of the war and the smoke of the civil war, farmers were displaced, rural productivity was severely damaged, and famine caused farmers in many places to eat up all their seeds.

    It should be said that the spring wheat harvest season should have started after August, but it is obvious that grain production in Ukraine and the lower Volga region will further decrease. As for winter wheat, even if the entire Volga Federation has settled down by then, it will be harvested after planting.  It will happen in April and May next year. Once the food gap after the reduction in spring wheat production is too large, the Volga Federation will really have to continue to tighten its belt in the second half of 1918.

    "How is the progress of Utsunomiya Taro's Eastern Route Army assembly?" Wang Geng brought the topic back.
